A traditional New England clambake is a feast that, in addition to clams, will include lobster, mussels, potatoes, corn and hot dogs. Yes, hot dogs.

Now, we can’t promise that the latter will appear on Feb. 23 when the Oxford Hotel ballroom, 1637 Wazee St., is transformed into a seaside resort for the 17th edition of Red Wine & Seafood, but this much is certain: Stephen Vice, executive chef of the sponsoring McCormick’s Fish House and Bar, always makes Red Wine & Seafood quite the culinary extravaganza. And so if he decides against putting weiners on the clambake menu, it’s doubtful they’ll be missed.

Red Wine & Seafood is put on by Volunteers of America as a benefit for its Brandon Center, a 118-bed shelter for homeless female veterans and women and children escaping domestic violence situations.
